LINKING ALL CREATURES--with each other, the earth and the whole universe is no easy feat...but on the final day of the Earth To Human eco-trip (www.earthtohuman.com),
Dr. Michael Newton focused on that challenge.

TYING IT ALL TOGETHER....

Dr. Newton talks about the exercise http://blomidon.blogspot.com/
"My role in this endeavour? I was to tie up the week's experience. I did that literally by having all the participants share their impressions and then passing or throwing a ball of twine to the next person until we had a web that represented the web of life that links all living creatures together with each other, the earth and the whole universe."
SPIRITUALITY & EARTH
The earthtohuman.com website explains that "As professor of Religious Studies at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook, Newton shares his enthusiasm for the environment in a course entitled "Spirituality and the Earth".
